This isn't a debate page, I just happened to notice we aren't talking about this guy as much lately. Not because he is doing anything wrong, but because he is doing everything right. Its so dang near automatic that he gets those first down conversions that you start to take them slightly for granted.

Lets take it back a few years ago, when our other star running back had just signed that ginormous countract after a record season -- and then played flag football to the end of his career.

This guy on the other hand has been putting in slightly MORE work imo and has done so quietly. Plus he was the unsung hero in the golden catch (no block from Lynch and RW would be sitting on that turf before he could throw it). With the way he has been running you would forget he has had back spasms. Please get this guy a ring hawks this dude has earned and puts da team on his back every game tho!

plus he is good for at least one of these moments every interview

We are the 2014 Superbowl champions and it can never, ever be taken away.Greatest defense in NFL history.

I think it bears repeating that we traded a 4th and a 5th round pick for Marshawn Lynch, who is now one of the best backs in football - and WAS AN OFFENSIVE PICKUP by our front office (they've had successes other than just defense!!)

Let me repeat that: a 4th and a 5th.

I know that top backs can be had in later rounds these days, but this level of production for that combo of picks is really incredible, and I'm extremely impressed by PC and JS's returns on trades. Clemons, Lynch, and Washington come immediately to mind, but I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting at the moment. And that's not to mention retreads which have become key contributors here when they failed elsewhere.

I've loved this dude since the first time I saw him play in Buffalo. I think the first time I ever saw him play as a pro, I said a little prayer to the football gods that he would one day be a Seahawk. The day we traded for him was one of my happiest days as a fan and he's been rewarding my enthusiasm ever since.

Remember all the people who were down on this trade when Pete pulled the trigger? Yeah, neither do they...

Love ya Beastmode!!

During the Rams game I told my wife twice, "I love that guy." She looked at me quizzically (sp?), but damn it is true. I've never seen a back run as hard as Marshawn, and there are only a few that were even in his league. I agree in that I wouldn't trade him for any other back in the league. He simply helps us demoralize teams (ask the Cowboys..).

His yards after contact are amazing, the stiff arms, the jukes, never giving up a yard.

I think the thing that impresses me the most is the amount of times the refs blow the whistle and Marshawn is still on his feet trying to push the pile with 3-4 guys hanging on him. THAT demoralizes those poor Defensive players, especially when you are worn out in the fourth quarter and the Beast is getting stronger.

I've been watching all the games since preseason on dvr, I count at least 12 runs in which he greatly exceeded what we needed on the play.

since he has been here I can't count how many times have you been like "ok all we need like 3 yards" and he gives you 15"He rarely fumbles, and the last time he fumbled on a run play that i can remember, he came back and atoned for it by destroying them in the playoffs. If he has a monster game this sunday can we finally start the MVP chant?
